Today we talk about GIFT Foundation Children and give more faces to them. It is hard for Shane to say goodbye because the children have established a strong bond with him. We have a latest update, share our concerns and hope more volunteers and donations will come through to help these children. We pray for a better future for them.

Our programs update at GIFT Foundation for all the work and activities we have done over the past two weeks. It actually surprise me because I felt like we’ve been helping for far longer. The refugee communities are receptive of our assistance and participate in our programs regularly. We have certainly make some life long friends.

Our first Champa wedding at a plantation is filled with curiosity, adventure and warmth of the community.

Dr. Firdaus is a woman of courage and kindness fighting for their causes.

Best way to teach children about a new culture is presents! We introduce Chinese new year to GIFT Foundation refugee and Muslim children by handing them ang pow. It’s great to see Shane getting a warm reception from the children. His efforts at building trusts with the children are definitely working. They are more open and seek his attention.
